Default Fine Scratches

&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;I got some Fine Scratches on My Front Fender Today, I was putting the Bike in to park it and Bumped into a Step Stool that I keep and it fell over on to the Fender and left some fine scratch marks on it, I only had the Bike a month and now this. What is recommended to take these out, thay are not deep just surface scratches. The Bike is Vivid Black.

I've had good luck with good ol Mothers mag polish. It's not as aggressive as rubbing compound and leave behind a shine on it's own!

I have a black SUV and my last bike was a black Shadow,&nbsp\\;and I swear by McGuires Scratch-X. Works great on my rides.

Scratch X does the job. Hard work and patience is the key.
